Supreme Court rejects EPA ability to set fleet-wide GHG emissions standards for power plants

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

66% : Under a fleet-wide regulatory approach, "EPA can demand much greater reductions in emissions based on a very different kind of policy judgment: that it would be 'best' if coal made up a much smaller share of national electricity generation," the court said.
51% : The case - West Virginia v. EPA - grew out of the Clean Power Plan, which set broad emissions reduction targets for the power sector, the second leading source of U.S. carbon emissions, but was stayed by the Supreme Court in 2016 before it took effect.
44% : "The issue is not whether EPA can regulate carbon dioxide emissions under section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act, but rather what kind of standards the agency is allowed to set."
